Foodie Friday: Columbia Harbour House

Even reading the name of the restaurant sends my taste buds
into a frenzy! Remember that on my review of Keys to the Kingdom Tour I told
you that this is where you stop for lunch. Lucky for me we did or I probably
would have never found the best vegetarian meal in Disney! After reading review after review, I have come to find the general consensus is that this counter service is one of the best and favorites at Magic Kingdom and I have to agree! We were escorted in by our tour guide and taken to the top floor. I love American History and this cute little
late 18th century restaurant was perfectly decorated. From the walls
to the carpet to all the little trinkets sitting on shelves, you really felt
you were in a different era! I’ll go ahead and apologize for my parents
ordering their usual chicken strips and fries, as most of this food is
available within every park, there isn’t much difference from restaurant to
restaurant. Anyway, the chicken strips and fries were given a thumbs up!

I want
to focus here on a spectacular meal that I was served: The Lighthouse Sandwich.
This sandwich, served with chips, has made its rounds into the hearts of many
Disney vegetarians, and mine too! A simple hummus with tomato-broccoli slaw sandwich
served on crisp bread. I think I was too stunned to answer the question from my
parents: “Is it good?” Absolutely! After making my way through many of the
parks, Yak and Yeti and their tofu noodles held the title as the best
vegetarian meal (although Cosmic Ray’s veggie burger was pretty rockin’) I had
found. Fresh broccoli slaw with a juicy tomato and creamy hummus can really make
a girl’s day 10 times better. The bread was just crispy enough and the sandwich
didn’t fall apart at all, something I can’t say for some of the veggie burgers
I had. The chips were also pretty good but combine this fantastic sandwich with
the beautiful early American theme and you’ve got a one-of-a-kind experience! I
can’t wait to return to Columbia Harbour House and delve into another one of
these!
